NEW PRODUCTS TO POWER YOUR BUSINESS
Explosion-Proof Halogen Light
Magnalight.com announced the addition of the EPL-QP-1X150-100-a quad-pod mounted light
tower designed to provide operators in hazardous locations with a powerful lighting solution-to
its extensive line of explosion-proof lighting equipment. The portable tower and removable lamp
assembly design of this tower provides versatile operating options, and a simple halogen lamp
provides effective yet economical illumination. Providing 1,500 square feet of work area coverage
with 1,520 lumens of light output, the tower light provides reliable illumination and convenient
portability in an easy-to-deploy lighting package. Equipped with a 150 W halogen bulb that
produces illumination in a wide flood pattern, the lamp housing on this unit is suitable for wet
areas and marine environments and tested to 500 hours of salt spray exposure in accordance with
MIL-F-8115C military specifications. (www.magnalight.com)
Easy-Use Spade Drill Bit
Spade drill bits are routinely used by
electricians who do wiring and cabling,
especially for drilling holes in wood for
conduit runs. But traditional spade bits
sometimes vibrate badly and dull after just a
few uses. The new IDEAL Power-Spade spade
bit helps eliminate these problems to provide
an increased level of performance, whether
the user is boring through wood, cement
board, composite enclosures, or ceiling tile.
Sporting a unique full-cone threaded tip,
the Power-Spade operates fast, requiring
up to 50% less force to achieve faster cuts
than other leading competitors' spade bits.
Self-feeding action promotes smoother,
vibration-free drilling while the contoured
paddle quickly removes chips from the hole,
preventing lockup. This contoured paddle also
creates a more aggressive cutting blade angle
than traditional straight spades, resulting in
faster penetration and removal for optimum
hole finish. Breakouts are virtually eliminated
by the bit's spur and reamer that perfectly
scribes the outside of holes. The bit is
available in a range of sizes from 0.5 inch to
1.25 inches. (www.idealindustries.com)
New Burner Management System
Siemens Industry Inc. introduced two new SIMATIC Burner Management
Systems (BMS) to give end users greater flexibility to cost-effectively comply
with revised 2011 burner standards. Designed with TUV-certified hardware and
customizable software, the compact BMS300F and BMS151F systems comply
with NFPA, IEC, and ANSI/ISA standards for single- or dual-fuel applications
with single or multiple burners. The models are also capable of meeting up to
SIL-3 with appropriate field devices.
The BMS models are designed in accordance with the technical requirements
listed in both NFPA 85 and 86 standards for programmable logic solvers (section
4.11 of NFPA 85 and section 8.3 of NFPA 86). All critical BMS functions are
managed via IEC 61508 compliant components up to SIL-3, thereby ensuring
safety metrics are met. These systems are also compliant with ISA S84.00.012004
and IEC 61511. An optional TUV-certified burner blocks library is also
available. (www.usa.siemens.com/fa-bms)
